Document with Section Access opens with no authentification

I have evoked Section Access into my QV document as follows:

Section Access;
Directory;
LOAD ACCESS,
USERID,
PASSWORD,
RETAILPHARMACY,
OMIT,
PATENTS,
FDA,
GENERICS,
SHOPPING,
PLAZA_ANALYTICS,
_VIEWGROUP
FROM
[..\Data Files\SectionAccess.xlsx]
(
ooxml, embedded labels, table is SectionAccess);

To my surprise, the document is opening without entering any USERID and PASSWORD credentials,  What could be the cause for this?

Regards.

Did you check in menu --> Settings --> Document Properties --> Opening tab

Initial data reduction............

?

Remember to make a backup of the .qvw before using the section access.

and I also suggest to start

- without binary load

- with one field in the section access table (  _VIEWGROUP)
